The ICC issued an arrest warrant for putin and russian children's commissioner maria lvova-belova on March 17, 2023. They are suspected of illegal deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children. If they leave the territory of russia for countries that are parties to the ICC and have ratified the Rome Statute, they should be arrested and brought to court.
